My goal this past week was to avoid the grocery stores all together.
And I failed. 🙁
Fred Meyer $3.79
I was lured into Fred Meyer by the Darigold butter that was on sale for $1.99 and the promise of a free chocolate bar and a free V8 drink {both friday freebies}. I gave the HH the chocolate bar for Valentine’s Day and he gobbled it up before I had a chance to ask for a piece. 😉 I guess he liked it. Note to self: Next time you give someone a bar of chocolate, stay in the room and don’t wander off to make a cup of tea.
Main and Vine $4.49
I stopped by the library to pick up some books and decided to check out the deals. Bananas were $0.59 a pound and sumo oranges $0.99 a pound.
Main and Vine $5.00
The real deal at Main and Vine this week though was the Greek God’s Yogurt for $2.50 each. The HH LOVE this stuff and for $2.50 a tub? Hello, I’ll take two.
Zaycon Fresh FREE
I had some Zaycon Fresh credits and decided to spend them on bacon and breakfast sausages this time around.
You can earn Zaycon credits 2 ways:
- Referring people – You receive $5 the first time a person places an order and picks it up at a sales event and $1 every order after that.
- Helping out at a Zaycon event. A friend of mine worked at this particular bacon event in our town and had a great time earning credit towards free meat. I think I might join her next time.
Zaycon Fresh has great prices and I have been buying and cooking with their meat since I discovered them 3 years ago. If you’ve never bought in bulk before, getting together with friends to prepare Freezer Meals is a pretty fun way to “put up” a bunch of meals for busy weeknights.
